Antique Large Chinese Chinese Allover Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional example of Chinese weaving from the turn of the 20th century exhibits a sophisticated balance between traditional symbolism and decorative restraint, making it a highly desirable piece among antique rugs. The monumental scale and intricate detailing are characteristic of the finest workshop productions of the period. The expansive field is dominated by a subtly rendered, allover geometric fretwork pattern, woven in tones of muted gold and khaki. This intricate ground provides a perfect foil for the sparsely distributed motifs, which include stylized floral sprays and decorative vases. The overall effect is one of refined elegance, utilizing a sophisticated ivory beige cream palette that has aged beautifully over time.
